Imperative Overview

INTENT:

The intent of this Imperative is to provide educational materials about a product and the manufacturing process with employees, customers and the broader public in order to share innovations, solutions and catalyze broader change.

REQUIREMENTS:

Living Products serve as success stories and motivate others to make positive changes. So that others can understand how a product achieved the Living Product Challenge, manufacturers must publicly share educational materials about the product’s design, manufacturing, use and disposal, including:

• Featuring information about the Living Product on their website for as long as the product is manufactured and sold.
• Installing interpretive signage explaining the Living Product manufacturing process at the facility.
• Offering an ongoing training program to educate workers at the manufacturing facility and to the company’s sales team about the Living Product Challenge.
• Allowing the public to tour areas of the manufacturing facility that aren’t sensitive or secure at least one day a year.
• Completing a Living Product case study that will appear on the Living Future Institute’s website.
